Federal law making it 'nearly impossible' for states to verify voter citizenship, Texas AG says

Poll workers can always accept "provisional" votes and let those voters submit papers within a few days.
They should never turn them away completely.

Our first, and foremost priority concerning voting is, integrity of the vote.

I agree, and turning away voters who have the documents you are requesting at home and can produce them would impair the "integrity" of the vote.
This 11th hour rule change discriminates against first generation Americans, but since it exists every single voter challenged should be allowed to vote.
Their vote will be counted when naturalization proof is submitted. At that time, new registration cards with the words "citizenship verified" should be issued, along with the state's apology for racially profiling them.

At home? Verifying citizenship and giving a voter card would be no different, than a bank card. using it likewise could be no different than we use daily to protect our digital managing of that accout.

Is that what you say about protecting your money? Prevention measures of others accessing on any of your devices where you choose to include your banking convieniences.?

We can at least agree we need the system, we use everyday for our financing . None of the SCARY stuff attatched anymore than what we already do. No money, no bank accout. No citizenship, no vote...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wants the federal government to share the citizenship status of registered voters whom the state cannot verify eligibility to vote.

In a Wednesday letter addressed to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson, Paxton wrote the "federal government continues to be the most significant challenge we face in securing Texas elections," pointing to the immigration policies of the Biden administration as well as federal law which Paxton said, "has made it nearly impossible for states to verify the citizenship of voter-registration applicants."

"Although it is a crime for a non-citizen to register to vote, federal law restricts states from requiring proof of citizenship, and state agencies like those we lead have limited means to verify voter citizenship in many cases," he added. "But those same laws place obligations on the federal government to help us identify potential non-citizen voters."

We live in a very high technological age ... we have the means to handle this electronically.

If it were required that - on the ballot itself - a person would be required to provide their US birth certificate number or their green card number ... then those ballots could be run against their respective data bases (for verification) and anything not a match the ballot would be tossed out.

As far as counting final votes ... This could be accomplished by using 3 different private entities to ensure validity of the count.

If this were done there would be no reason to not allow a person to vote on line as well.

This would eliminate the possibility of possible cheating and limit "human errors".

I don't know about online. But then again I do not do banking online, not through my phone like people do these days. I prefer a closed system like an atm.

You do realize that--60 frivolous lawsuits later--the groundless accusations of voter fraud were actually the grief of a candidate who lost his election by the largest margin--8 million votes--in history.
And red state election boards jumping through hoops trying to solve a problem that exists only in the mind of a losing candidate who repeats it to all who will listen.

I guess voting is not that sacrosanct to you as you claim? That is all I see with this resistance to something so simple....

It would not be the first time the federal government has ignored the Law of the Land to pave the way for illegal activity such as illegal entry into the US.

Except the thing that Abbot is complaining about IS the law of the land. Incidentally so is granting people requesting asylum immigration court appointments.

Is that in Democrat run towns, counties, states? or is it across the board? I wouldn't mind seeing that data.

It was only in 2008, The white well to do precincts had had quite a few voting machines while in at least one poorer black precinct there was just one. Thus, the lines. Of course many just gave up and Ohio was a must win. This is not unheard of in other elections except that normally the difference is maybe just one or two hours. They play games all the time, usually it is the GOP but sometimes the democrats do things that restrict voting or in many cases expand voting like registering people automatically without consent at a dmv.

well ... it would be kindred to like how people register their vehicles online ... it asks for your vin number and plate number ... and if it's a match it pulls up your registration info.
